Yeah they do help lower the car too.
For instance, at my current height with stock LCAs, I had about an inch left before my stance coils were maxed out. I added the Stance LCAs which dropped the car an inch and allowed me to raise the car an inch to meet at the same point it used to be. With as short as the rear shocks are, you want as much travel as possible. Being able to lower the car as much as you want while not losing so much shock travel is super big plus. The arms and axles are a different story though haha. The LCAs kill two birds with one stone ![]() Sweet build. Love the parts you're using on it. Not to mention the FC ![]()

I'm in a bit of a rut with the FC :/ Mostly focusing on the FR-S. Looking to fully focus on suspension, brakes, wheels/tires, and weight loss before even thinking of power

Went after school on Thursday to get an alignment. The guys at the Nissan dealership (**** Smith Nissan) where my dad purchased his GT-R are some of the nicest and coolest guys out there and let me use their alignment rack and work on the car myself. After a good bit of tinkering here's what the car is at. Front Camber: -1 degree. Front Toe: 0 degrees. Rear Camber: -1.3 degrees. Rear Toe: 0.1 degrees in. It was way out of whack because of the new control arms and the fact that i had messed with rear toe already, but if feels really solid now.
Also got some minor interior upgrades. Weathertech floor mats because i do daily the car and these make it much easier to keep clean. I usually have to walk through at least some mud going in and out of school everyday so these help me worry less about what's getting all over the inside of the car (i'm OCD about keeping it clean). And a YoSpeed Center Console Plaque engraved with the "86" design. It looks a bit nicer and i was tired of people asking why there was a such a large recess in the middle of the console ![]() |

Got some time and good weather to wash the car yesterday so that i could get a proper picture with the newly painted taillights.
I will admit up front that they didn't come out like i had hoped. Followed the recommendations of several forum members here and decided to wetsand between the colored and clear coats. I guess the real problem came with the clear, which i couldn't really get to form a "wet coat" like with the color coat. As a result, the lights looks frosty as opposed to glassy. ![]() |
